Old maths was calculation in reality, as best they could.
New maths is the current mathematical religion and philosophy which is
tried to be expressed through number.
Infinite numbers of infinite universes filled with infinite things...
Psycho-babble... theo-babble... a rose by any other name, eh? Just
babble.
A 'mathematician/scientist/psychologist' will suggest that they/you
have 'infinite' potential, etc, etc...
I know that I'm just a finite guy in every way. How about y'all?
